"this is growing up" lyrics

They don't tell you how to become a man
With stars in your eyes, nothing in your hands
Hearts been broken two hundred forty times
A couple from the lovers, the rest of the faults were mine

So don't turn your back, careful what you say
It's hard to take it back, I know what you meant
When you were three feet high, mother told you why
And now it makes you cry

This is growing up
And I've found myself again
Coming back to play pretend
It's so easy to be young
But I'm changing, this is growing up
This is growing up
Oh, we're changing, this is growing up

Back to the dream we once had
Back to the childhood romance
When your danced all night and my feet didn't move
But the walls, they knew you'd be mine

Yeah, I know it's sad, time is moving on
And you can't take it back, I know what you meant
When you were three hours late and your dad had to wait
'Cause you slept through half of the day

This is growing up
And I've found myself again
Coming back to play pretend
It's so easy to be young
But I'm changing, this is growing up
This is growing up

This is growing up
And I've found myself again
Coming back to play pretend
It's so easy to be young
But I'm changing, this is growing up
This is growing up
This is growing up
